The Hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi
As you may know, Nancy Pelosi has been all over Tom DeLay for his 2001 trip paid for by the Korea-United States Exchange Council (KORUSEC). She wants an investigation!
Well, it turns out that this may be one of those pot and kettle things. First, check out what Eric Pfeiffer in the NRO has to say:
However, buried in the 20th paragraph of last Thursday’s Post reporting was acknowledgement that a Nancy Pelosi staffer had taken a comparable trip with KORUSEC in 2003. What’s more, Pelosi’s office had failed to file the required financial documentation for the trip until the Washington Post came looking for it. Other Democrats took part in KORUSEC trips as well.
And then check out this story from the Washington Times (via Deacon at Powerline):
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi helped secure $3 million last year for a nonprofit organization, WestStart-CALSTART, whose president gave money to her political action committee. The organization also paid for the European trip of one of Pelosi’s policy advisers.
Where’s that Ethics Committee when you need them?
Matt Margolis agrees with this:
“Given the actions of the minority leader vis-a-vis the majority leader and other Republicans, I’m having a little trouble finding where the outrage is coming from these groups that continue to pound on Republican members.”
Aaron at Lifelike Pundits asks:
Now, to our liberal readers, no one is saying that DeLay is innocent of the charges, but why is he in the spotlight and not Nancy?
In response to Powerline’s “Where’s the Outrage?” - California Conservative responds:
It’s right here. And growing.
Boi from Troy weighs in:
Seems to be a pattern among San Francisco Politicians, although I am surprised the House Minority Leader was unable to get the 50% ROI as her former State Assemblyman.
And it looks like this may not be the first time Ms. Pelosi has had some questionable PAC involvement. This is from Roll Calls (10/17/2002):
Campaign finance experts and watchdogs are questioning the legality of twin leadership PACs that have enabled Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to double up on hard-dollar contributions she has given and received this election cycle.
The experts suggest that the use of the two committees, PAC to the Future and Team Majority, amounts to a probable violation of laws intended to prevent lawmakers from multiplying their leadership political action committees in order to defy contribution limits. The treasurer for the two committees, former California Lt. Gov. Leo McCarthy (D), acknowledges that the PACs are identical in all but name.

Looks like the leftist Democrats have made yet another “mistake”. I’m sure it’s just an oversight; something poor Nancy wasn’t even aware of. And not filing those required reports… I’m sure she was so busy tending to the work of the people that it just got overlooked. Nothing to get worked up over. After all, Canada could use a few good people like Nancy… maybe some “gratuitous” consulting on the side… with a little contribution for appreciation, heh, heh. Now… that criminal Republican on the other hand, he is calculating… stealing… conniving… ripping off the people. Those eeeevil Republicans.

Great reporting! Now where are the gutless, spineless bendover Republicans?!! This female hound has the audacity to to go on “Meet the Press” and imply that Bush will be impeached if the Dems take over congress The Republicans just sit back with their thumbs up their noses and do NOTHING!
Do Republicans deserve to hold power?!! If they don’t get up off their nether parts and start DOING SOMETHING, it’ll soon be flowing back to its rightful owners!

Meet The Congress You Voted For, America - The Most Corrupt, Ever!
These are the crooks we already know about, the new leadership. Look at what they have accomplished before they were given Absolute Power in Congress. Way to go, America, and there’s certainly more to come. And here’s a little more “light” reading …
